Danmachi Familia from Hell

*

- No - Hades replied for the tenth time that day to the same request to the blond man sitting opposite him.

- Why? Please give me at least one argument - said the interlocutor.

- Belakher and I are doing well here. We don't need to get entangled in the web of intrigue, struggles for power and influence in your city, Hermes.

- You are really stubborn, uncle.

- I am honest, nephew.

The relatives sat on opposite sides of the desk in Hades' study, with shelves overflowing with account books, volumes and other manuscripts.
The god of the Underworld often hosted the patron of thieves. He brought him letters from Zeus and Hera, materials needed for research that could only be bought in other lands, and also arranged contracts for the Landgrave to complete.
Golden-eyed was pleased with this cooperation and the fact that at least in writing he maintained constant contact with his siblings. However, it irritated him that each time Hermes spent half of his visit on vain attempts to convince him to move with his only follower to Orario.
Unlike most gods, Hades did not descend to the Lower World for entertainment or to gain glory, so he felt no need to send Belakher to the Dungeon.
After all, they were not the only ones who were not drawn to sinking into a hole full of the most disgusting creatures.
Ra and Bastet settled in the Kaios desert, also known as the Grand Sand Sea. Many people considered the latter name to be more appropriate, as this scorched earth land was large enough to contain many separate countries. However, the couple from Heliopolis did not join either Israfan, famous for its talented merchants, or Shalzad, full of oases, or the plundering nation of Warsa. Despite the lack of support from wealthy royal families, the sun god and the ruler of cats did remarkably well.
The harsh climate and swarms of monsters such as Sand Worms, Desert Lizards, Sand Scorpions, Vulture Hunters and even Basilisks allowed many of their followers to reach level two. However, those who achieved the rank of "Kavir" - a warrior at the third level, which for most mortals was an impossible dream, deserved true admiration.
Meanwhile, Freyr decided to live on Hjadningavíg - a forest island located on a gigantic lake on the distant borders of the continent. There were two kingdoms there, one of the White Elves and the other of the Dark Elves, who were constantly fighting each other until the arrival of the god of peace. He did not take sides, did not find fault with anyone, did not favor any nation. He even had two captains of the familia, so that neither civilization would feel left out. The silver-haired man managed to end the conflict that had been raging almost since the beginning of the existence of both kingdoms.
Among the gods known to Hades from his region of the heaven, he could name several examples. His brother Poseidon did not have a permanent residence on dry land. He sailed at the head of a fleet of ships with his followers on the seas and oceans, hunting water monsters, and only came to port to replenish supplies.
Aphrodite, who had a passion for beauty of all kinds, descended to Earth in Meilsotra, a country famous throughout the world for its mind-bending theatrical arts. There she could lead various actors, opera singers, dancers, and other people she found charming enough to join her.
Even from the Underworld, ruled by Hades, there was someone who gained great standing in the Lower World, despite having no activity in Orario. Hecate, a goddess who was one of the greatest masters of magic in the entire heaven, decided to share her knowledge with mortals. Although they were limited by nature to having a maximum of three types of magic, Altena was still considered one of the most powerful countries in the world.

- Lord Hades - the blond man spoke officially.

Even gods related to each other often used their names in conversations instead of their kinship names. This was due to the fact that members of families often did not see each other for millennia and lost their sense of closeness or did not want to admit to being of lower status to another god. After all, it was natural even among mortals that fathers held a higher position than sons, and mothers than daughters.
There were also extreme cases, such as Ishtar and Ereshkigal. The sisters hated each other to such an extent that neither of them would utter a word expressing that they are relatives.
